Premium Metal Shim Steel for Precision Applications

Metal shim steel is an essential material across industries for bridging small gaps, achieving precise fits, and creating stable, level surfaces. Whether you’re working in automotive repair, heavy machinery, or precision tooling, our high-quality shim steel offers the durability and accuracy needed for even the most demanding applications.

Why Choose Our Shim Steel?

Our shim steel is manufactured to rigorous precision tolerances, ensuring uniform thickness, superior hardness, and excellent stability. These qualities make our metal shim steel perfect for applications where precise alignment and fine adjustment are crucial. Here are a few examples of how our shim steel is used:

• Automotive and HGV Axle Shims: Ideal for achieving accurate spacing and alignment in vehicle axles, supporting smoother operation and reducing wear.
• Tool and Die Alignment: Widely used in aligning tools and dies, our metal shims allow for precise calibration, enhancing equipment lifespan and minimising operational errors.
• Arbor Spacers: Essential in machining and assembly processes, our shim steel helps maintain exact distances between components, facilitating smoother operation and reducing vibration.

Key Features of Our Shim Steel

Our shim steel offers essential qualities for applications demanding a high degree of precision:

• Consistent Thickness: Each shim is rolled to exact tolerances, ensuring uniform thickness across all pieces. This is essential for applications requiring reliable spacing and precise alignment.
• High Hardness: With exceptional hardness, our shim steel resists deformation even under significant loads, making it suitable for long-term applications in high-stress environments.
• Easy to Work With: Our shim steel is easy to cut and shape to meet specific requirements, providing flexibility for diverse applications.

Available Types of Shims

We supply a wide range of metal shim options to suit any project requirement, with each type offering unique characteristics:

• Carbon Steel Shims: Known for their strength and durability, carbon steel shims are commonly used in industrial applications. Designed to handle heavy loads, these shims are resistant to wear, making them suitable for high-stress environments.
• Stainless Steel Shim: Stainless steel shims are highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making them an excellent choice for environments exposed to moisture or harsh conditions. Stainless steel shims are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications that require durability and long-lasting performance.
• Brass Shim: Ideal for applications needing corrosion resistance, brass shims are popular in marine, automotive, and decorative applications. They are also softer and more malleable than steel, making them easy to adjust and shape.
